Being Legal and Fair Reflective Essay
Being Legal and fair means many things. It means not down-loading free music off a website. Taking another person’s words and claiming them as your own. You need to site your sites when using information off the internet, for it to be legal and fair.
Down-loading free music off of the internet is illegal. It is free and easy but if you get caught its not. You probably are thinking, why is it illegal? I’m just getting the same songs but for free on a different website? Well if you do this it is not helping the artist. The person who took the songs from the artist is plagiarizing. So the artist isn’t getting full credit on the songs they made, either is the songwriter, producer, or the record company. Think about it next time you’re on a free music website, think about the artist, and being legal and fair.
You cannot plagiarize. This means you can’t take another person’s work, their words, their thoughts, and use them as your own, and pretend you thought it all and it came from you. If you’re going to take something from someone else you need to be fair about by asking your friend, if it’s ok to use their idea in your essay or presentation. Then put it into your own words throughout the paper. You need to say at the end what your sources are and where your idea came from. If you follow those steps you will be legal and fair to the other person’s work.
If you want to download picture off of the internet. If you see a really awesome picture on Google Images and it would look great with your project, you have to say where you got it from and not claim it like you took it yourself or something. If you found information on your project and sounds good how it is, you DO NOT copy and paste! That is plagiarism once again. You do the same thing put it into your own words and site your sources. I have made the mistake in the past of taking pictures from Google Images, without siting my sources. I was not happy when I got points taken off of my grade and got in trouble with my teacher. Everything I said will help you be legal and fair.
Copyright is the stamp that makes your artwork, music, writing, “yours” No one else can use your idea until 70 years after your death. If you have a blog and you write about something about an idea you have, and someone takes it for a movie or book. This would be illegal unless they wrote on the book or movie that is was your original idea, and they thought it would make a good story.
I hope you learned how to be legal and fair when using the internet, for music, pictures, and information.
